Well, are you having a good Friday? (Sorry). You should be, as we have a glorious Easter Bank Holiday weekend lying ahead that is solely dedicated to eating chocolate, enjoying the sunshine, oh and Jesus of course, can't forget about that guy.

It may be a weekend for being outdoors but that doesn't mean there still can't be cosy evenings in front of the box.

Here's what's on:

 

FRIDAY

 

You can find out the lineups for 'The Graham Norton Show' and 'The Late Late Show' here but if they're not floating your boat, you can also enjoy the classic that is 'Step Brothers' over on Sky One at 9pm.

It stars Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly as Brendan and Dale, two 40-year-old men who have never flown the nest but are thrown together when their long-suffering parents (Mary Steenburgen and Richard Jenkins) get married. Filled with hilarious one-liners and comedy gold, this one is enjoyable every time you watch.
